It means you have low oil pressure, the causes of which can be varied. Low oil due to a leak or burning off could be a possibility, a bad oil pump is another, and bad oil sending unit is another possibility. First, I'd check the oil level and check for leaks, then repair those as needed. If that doesn't do it for you, start looking towards the oil sending unit.

If the oil light only comes on when the engine is hot and on idle look at your oil pressure gauge to see if the needle is going down to the low end of the scale if so give it a service and make sure you use 10w 40oil reccomended for frontera and you can put in slick50 or other engine oil additive this will increase your oil pressure and stop the light coming on
What does the stop light mean on a freightliner truck?
Really depends on model year, and what specifically the light is. If it's the stop engine light, then a fault has been detected which will cause the engine to shut down. On older trucks with mechanical engines, a stop light typically meant that inadequate air pressure is in the system.
What does it mean when the oil sensor light comes on in a 2003 Audi a4?
If you are referring to the red oil pressure light then it means you have low oil pressure which will destroy your engine if you keep driving it. STOP immediately, check your oil level and add if it is low. If it is not low then call a tow truck and have it towed to a trusted mechanic for repair. Do not drive this vehicle with that light on or you will do serious damage to the engine.
Recently replaced your oil and oil filter and now when you drive around half hour when you stop at a red light your oil pressure drops to the point that your check engine light comes up 5.0L 1988?
That's not a check engine light. That's an everything light. Including low oil pressure. ?The oil you put in recently is of an effective lower viscosity than what was previously run? Try thickening the oil.

Why does your Oil light come on and you can't accelerate well after you stop at a stop sign or red light?
The oil light is a red warning light that is telling you that the engine oil pressure is low or non-existent and to stop. Severe engine damage will occur if you continue to drive the vehicle. I would suspect you have already done serious damage to this engine. It is not accelerating very well because it is dying from a lack of lubrication. Remember RED means STOP.
